Know the feeling
Just came back from a local Pride celebration and well, I hope I can be as flame retardant as some of those brave folks there. Most notably a F->M comedienne called Ian Harvey.
He is funny!

I've not had the guts...
to do anything "public" Pride wise as yet... I do understand the feeling on the need to be flame retardant. I just hope my family's able to manage, too. As, some are likely to take their anger/bigotry of me out on them. *sighs*
I think it's nice how much "teaching" goes on in these stories. Little snippets like that really make me sit back and think.

FWIW
His last name is Harvie.
Out of curiosity I visited his website, yes he is THAT open, and curiously he leaves gender on his driver's license as 'female'. He has had top surgery and the is post T but still ... He considers the F a BIOLOGICAL gender.
Anyway, that is an aside.
Cathy, as I must say it again, is spot on. It seems like every time you meet someone and you tell them about yourself it is a miniature 'transition' event. All of a sudden you have to defend yourself again, explain yourself again ....
As a consequence, I think our author will never let Cathy have the grace of somehow magically transforming to XX. She is to my mind an object lesson to us all (M->F that is)

You don't have to tell them.
If he's not going to pin me to the bed and make me scream, he does not need to know. Lately, I am just saying I am Intersexed. It is really no one's business.
Don't worry, be happy.

A true word
“Do you still worry about this then, Mummy?â€
“Yes—unfortunately I do. We none of us ever become fireproof, just flame retardant.â€
Why we feel guilty for having the audacity to be ourselves, I don't know; but many of us do.

Ask Stella!
In the absence of Simon, we still don't know what happened re the tablecloth. But I'm sure his sister knows!
Thanks A&B: a nice bit of educative stuff there today.

A blast from Cathy's past is most refreshing, but I still wonder if Simon can find a duplicate or if that was actually Cathy's tablecloth. Would be funny if it was one of Tom's from the uni and Cathy's was safe and sound.

Desperation
Judging from the desperation around there, Simon knows exactly what he has done, and is in mortal fear of the consequences. He really should have thrown himself on the mercy of the court, it would have been much quicker, and if he had been honest and up front their may have been clemency. As is, he has pushed the slow and painful button.
I was apparently...
more successful at my play-acting than Cathy, as, at least in high school and college most folks took me for a guy. Perhaps that was my problem in my thespian attempts. Playing one role was all I could handle. I couldn't manage a role, playing yet a third. (I can pretend it was that and not my lack of talent, can't I?) (Hmmm. I wonder what it'd have been like to be at an all boy's school - rather than an integrated one.)
Amazing what one can find on the internet these days. That was quite a nice review. I've seen much worse about shows on Broadway. LOL. I AM curious to find out what happened to the heirloom table cloth. Tea would be my first guess, but who knows. Might have been blood... Though, I can't imagine what Simon might have been doing to generate blood on the cloth. Hmmm. Let's see, all the kids are still around, so he didn't sacrifice one. We've not seen Stella recently... Did she and Simon come to blows? Could Puddin have had an accident on the cloth? Or painted it? (Children his age HAVE been known to be artistic with their brown paint... *shudders*
One of these days, you'll probably let us in on what happened. I do wonder how many episodes you'll be able to delay that though.
Thanks,
Anne
Education, Education, Education!
Cathy is just so right about transgendered people never being fully 'flame proof' just 'flame retardent'.
Fortunately at 64 I'm slowly coming to terms with my appearence as a man with breasts. (It's what I want!!! Nobody else has a say in it; not even my wife! It's just me!!!!)
Now however, if anybody makes a remark, I'm 'IN THEIR FACE' as best I can be and I always do it in as public a place as possible.
Heterosexist prats need keeping in their place but the nicest thing is discovering that more people are supportive than are destuctive!!!
Still loving it Angharad

I hope he is smart enough to take it to the pros
Make you scream ? Did he hurt you, Gwen ?
There is a setting for 'my wife will kill me if this stain won't come out" on most Maytag washers.
Do you have these in GB ?
